“You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside”
— Wayne Dyer
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine being outside on a rainy day. You can't stop the rain or change the weather, but you can choose whether to be upset about it or enjoy the chance to splash in puddles. This is saying that even when things around you are unpredictable or difficult, you have the power to decide how you feel and react. For instance, if someone is rude to you, you can't control their behavior, but you can decide not to let it ruin your day. Focusing on your inner thoughts and feelings helps you stay calm and positive, no matter what happens around you. By managing your emotions and reactions, you can make better choices and stay happier, even in tough times.
